Protein find



Recommended Posts

Just thought I'd share. I was at Trader Joes today and found mahi mahi burgers. 1g card and 14g Protein. Haven't tried them yet but sounds good!

Salmon burgers are also an excellent source. The Trident Seafoods brand has 20g of Protein per patty. costco sells them, at least in Seattle they do. Super easy to prepare!

I'm not a fan of salmon - it's too fishy for me. But the Mahi Mahi burgers were awesome! I think I might try making different kinds on my own so I can control the ingredients.

Now that it's too cold to grill I just cook them in a skillet with some Pam or EVOO. I put them on the grill in the summer.

You just fry them up. They are frozen just like the turkey burgers they sell at costco. My son makes a regular burger with them (Bun and the fixings) I eat just the patty and dip it in mustard (I'm weird) :P They are tasty and moist.

I know salmon can be a real fishy flavor - which isn't my favorite - what abt mahi mahi? Is the fishy flavor more subtle?

Mahi mahi is more mild than salmon. I might try making some with cod for my kids. They aren't big fans of fish so we shall see. Could maybe even try shrimp burgers.

Found a Protein Bar at Walmart that depending on what flavor you get has between 19-21 grams of Protein. It's called life choice, high protein bar. The nutritionist at the surgeons office was impressed with how good it actually was. Took one of my bars to share with others.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
